Meanwhile, Rodger’s father tells Barbara Walters he “didn’t see this coming at all”

The parents of David Wang and George Chen — the first two victims killed in the rampage near the University of California Santa Barbara campus — believe the tragedy could have been prevented, and are bothered that Elliot Rodger’s parents did not extend their condolences.

“There were several opportunities missed,” Jane Wang said during a “CBS This Morning” interview (above) on Thursday. “It is time for all Americans to wake up to do our own part. So maybe it’s too late for our children, but it is not too late for all Americans.”

In a preview of the special that aired on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Thursday, Rodger said he did not think his son was capable of becoming “a mass murderer.”

“There’s no way I thought that this boy could hurt a flea,” Rodger said during the interview, which airs Friday. “This is the most unbelievable thing, Barbara. What I don’t get is that we didn’t see this coming at all.”

The parents interviewed by CBS believe the only way to stop more mass shooting from happening is for families to become more involved in their children’s lives, and wish Rodger would have done just that.
